My thoughts on firestone

by psych0cat at Citysearch

I just returned from a show at club firestone abd thought I would share my observations.

1.their website said "show at 8pm"...it started at ten.

2.there was an unannounced opening act that was so horrible that the whole audience was disgusted/horrified.

The stage crew had a hard time making the guy stop playing. Seriously, people kept coming onstage and tugging on his sleeve and telling him to stop.

3.the bathrooms have no indication of which sex they are, so guysd kept coming into the ladies and vice versa.

4.the bathroom doors stay wide open to the entire dancefloor. I could see five guys at urinals from the dancefloor!?!

5.they sell glass bottles. No problem except I saw more than one go airborne. Perhaps plastic would be a safer alternative.

6.smoking is allowed throughout the club. No mention of this on their website. If you have asthma, you will not enjoy this venue.

7.they mention specific areas for smoking, reclining, etc. All of these ares were barricaded.

8.they WAY oversold the show. If there were a fire or something, there would be a serious problem I have a hard time believeing they observe fire codes.

9. The band had to call out a security guard before doing their encore. Quote: "Hey Mr. Security guard...What the F*CK? I just went upstairs to the dressing room and there are two people asking me where the bathrooms are! Thanks."

Overall, I would advise against seeing or booking a show at firestone. They have a great sound system, bt that's about it.

• Pros: good sound system
• Cons: everything else

Great Place with Great Entertainment

by heatherfritz at Citysearch

Club Firestone is the best place in Orlando to see a concert. They have the best service and the best lineup. Located in Downtown Orlando. Check out their website, it has all of their upcoming concerts. I LOVE this venue!

• Pros: Wide Selection of Concerts
• Cons: There are none... they have it all

Worse attitudes

by beautifulxfighter at Citysearch

I only have one thing to say about these people. They all have HORRIBLE attitudes. The manager was sitting around drinking instead of doing what he was supposed to. If you even went up to him, he would give you attitude and not help you out. I went there for a concert that I travelled 9 hours for and in all honesty, I don't think I'll go back there. The bartenders were really nice and helpful. To fix our problem we had to go from one person to another and when we finally go to the manger he refused to even help us out. I've been to concerts in larger cities and larger venues and they were much nicer.

• Pros: the band was good, the bartenders were nice, great views
• Cons: poor management, had to go from one person to another to get help and even then, didn't get any sort of answers
